Starred Review for Kirkus Reviews (Thu Apr 28 00:00:00 CDT 2022)

Space adventurer Ava explores the solar system and gets home in time for supper.This spectacular space jaunt is a top-tier blend of adventure and information, creatively conveyed. Bright colors, inventive use of die-cut pages, and one spectacular pop-up tableau provide eye-catching scenes, almost every one offering a window onto the scene to follow. Ava, a brown-skinned young astronaut-in-the-making, has a bedroom filled with models of rockets and planets. "This is Ava. Today she is going on a big space adventure. / Ava climbs into her rocket ship and waits for the final countdown." The next five double-page spreads depicting levels of staging around Ava's rocket are die-cut in the shapes of numerals, inviting kids to join in the countdown: "5 / 4 / 3 / 2 / 1 / 0 / LIFT OFF." Ava and her imperturbable cat blast off into space as the crew in the control room monitors the operation. First stop is the International Space Station. After Ava makes a "daring spacewalk" to repair a solar panel, she heads for the moon, then around the sun, through the asteroid belt, and past each of the eight planets in the solar system, with cutaways in every scene previewing the coming destinations. The text is accessible for young readers yet rich in information and detail. In companion title Ocean Adventure, a black boy named Noah has an equally thrilling undersea expedition.Absolutely stellar. (Board book. 2-6)
